Data Centre LIVE: Learn the Experts' Hyperscale Strategies

The race to build faster, smarter and more efficient digital infrastructure has never been more intense.

As AI adoption accelerates and cloud demand continues to surge, hyperscale operators are under increasing pressure to expand capacity and rethink how the next generation of data centres is designed and delivered.

At Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit, the Hyperscale Strategies panel will bring together senior leaders from across cloud, infrastructure and technology to unpack the trends redefining the hyperscale market.

The session will provide attendees with a front-row view into the challenges and opportunities shaping modern digital infrastructure, from managing growing compute density to overcoming supply chain constraints and accelerating regional expansion.

The panel offers valuable insight for technology and data centre professionals into how hyperscale organisations are responding to unprecedented demand driven by AI workloads.

Attendees will hear practical perspectives on scaling infrastructure efficiently, balancing operational resilience with sustainability goals and deploying innovative technologies that support long-term growth.

The leaders driving hyperscale innovation

Among the speakers is Clive Deakin, Director of Digital Cloud Platform Technology and Architecture at Iron Mountain.

Clive specialises in cloud transformation, enterprise architecture and multi-cloud strategy, with experience spanning AWS, Azure and Google Cloud environments.

His perspective on operational governance, scalable delivery models and cloud optimisation will provide attendees with insight into the technologies enabling hyperscale growth at scale.

Joining him is Amy Daniell, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Development at STACK Infrastructure.

Amy brings extensive international experience across hyperscale development, mission-critical engineering and strategic growth.

Having worked with major global brands and operators throughout EMEA and APAC, she offers deep expertise in how hyperscale providers are evolving site design, delivery models and infrastructure partnerships to meet rising market demand.

Tackling cloud growth and operational scale

The panel also features Ben Watson, UK Operations Lead at Amazon Web Services.

With a background spanning electrical engineering, aerospace electronics and process automation, Ben brings hands-on technical expertise to conversations around operational efficiency, emerging infrastructure technologies and scaling complex environments to support next-generation digital services.

Also speaking is Richard Wilkinson, Chief Technologist – Europe GIS at DXC Technology. With three decades of international experience across consulting, architecture and IT operations, Richard offers a broad understanding of how organisations can align infrastructure strategy with long-term business transformation and service delivery goals.

Stage hosting duties will be led by Tim Curtis from BizClik Media, guiding the conversation around the technologies and operational priorities shaping hyperscale infrastructure worldwide.

Why attend now?

As hyperscale infrastructure becomes increasingly central to AI innovation and global cloud services, understanding how operators are planning for future growth is becoming essential knowledge across the industry.

This session will give attendees the opportunity to hear directly from leaders solving some of the sector’s biggest challenges in real time, from power and sustainability pressures to scaling infrastructure faster without compromising resilience.

For professionals working across operations, engineering, cloud, procurement and strategy, the panel promises actionable insight into the future direction of hyperscale data centres and the innovations driving the next wave of digital transformation.
